Immediately thought of Mane situation.
I mean, if he actually gets to the ball and gets a flick on toward goal and Thomas arrives late and gets him, what happens?
I don’t know if they are allowed/supposed to talk about intent. Nobody can prove anything either way. They will say he meant to cause harm, we will say that he went for the ball and was so focussed etc.
How long was Smeltz suspended for?
I think 3-4 weeks.
Muscat can’t even comment on it surely. I rewatched his red card tackle where he makes contact above he knee and is horizontal. Grub.
I have a reasonably new found dislike towards Victory after this season. The thought of Troisi in a good shirt with his combover makes me sick.
And he's already been referred to an independent tribunal which is supposed to rule on cases where it will exceed 4 weeks.Quote:

But this is interesting
We are one of the big 4 all of a sudden!Quote:
But it’s understood Sydney FC, Melbourne Victory, Newcastle Jets and Western Sydney Wanderers are the clubs who will be in the market for recognised name players next season.
The CEOs of the four clubs are due to meet on Thursday to discuss their budgets and how the funds, provided by Fox Sports, will be used.
Wait, are they really saying that Iniesta is somewhat comparable to Del Piero and Heskey?
Oh my dear lord.
His suggested Chinese contract included wine deals.
Give him Pokolbin ffs,
This.. Although go the cheaper option and offer Necknock.Quote:

I'd argue maybe Del Piero in terms of national team statusQuote:

Bloke is the second greatest football on the planet bar Griff yet these clowns wouldnt know it
Yeah, I don't think our injury record was anything worth shouting about. BUT I don't know the ins and outs of his role so I don't want to criticise him. Either way, if Lee is willing to spend money, I don't imagine it's that difficult to replace a physio. Maybe we could just poach Sydney's?Quote:

But any player, be it Griff, Iniesta or Pato needs to be signed for their footballing ability only, and their ability to contribute to a winning team.
This season has shown that the crowds, and results will come with good football.
10 years ago bay 4 was screaming for Hoffs blood, now they adore him. Nothing changed other than results.

Had to look twice to see it was a trial game - all aboard the bandwagon.
For the rates these pricks are charging me every year we should be getting a UEFA Champions league final.Quote:

FFA are killing the game in this country because they aint catering to football fans
The other week i watched a game in Thailand
No VAR
Full strength beer at $2 a cup
$5 entry
Sitting or standing on steel stands not a seat of plastic
Right on top of the pitch
It was a cracking night because it was real football in a shitty ground
Why cant i get this in this country??
Can shove their 30k all seaters and their big name marquees up their arse.
You support the shirt and the shit cunce in it
We dont need to sell the league to Bogan Straya with gimmicks because they dont care
We need to provide the league for football fans in Straya and stop worrying about what others think
is that the physio's fault or is it a lack of a proper strength and conditioning coach to specifically focus on injury prevention (as opposed to a physio who probably is more focused on recovery)?Quote:

Jets trying to keep Mcgree
https://www.theherald.com.au/story/5...season/?cs=305
we must be offloading some players then, with the signing of matt, as well as having kanta, brown and uga at full fitness keeping mcgree seems odd despite the quality he offered. Unless instead of using him as a midfielder like we did towards the end of the season he'll continue as a winger even though I don't think that's his best positionQuote:

You're right - he needs to show more.Quote:

Johnny K to take up Ugaboogas spot if he goes
Cowburn can put out the witches hats, pump balls up etc etc.
